Canvas Class Average is a Chrome Extension that calculates a class average for a Canvas course. It also displays your grade and the average grade history, how it changed over time, and both your and the average grade by weight group.
After installing the extension, simply navigate to the grades page of a Canvas course. The extension will automatically calculate the class average and display it on the page under your score in the course.
To change settings, go to the Canvas settings page by clicking your profile picture in the top left, and pressing Settings, then just scroll down to the Class Average section.
